Former House Speaker New Gingrich (R-Ga.), a likely 2012 presidential candidate, told CNSNews.com today that he does not regret supporting the enactment of the Medicare prescription drug plan which now presents the federal government with a $7.2 trillion unfunded liability.

From the taxpayers pockets to the coffers of the drug companies, make possible by the Fed Govt.

This bashing of corporations is not even funny any more. Socialists have painted the world in the colors of their choice and you have swallowed it lock-stock-and-barrel.

Firstly, drug companies are not particularly profitable. They are made scapegoats, just as oil companies, by the Left, because it is easier to entice your hatred. You can go to Yahoo and check the profitability of drug companies --- and oil companies, while you are at that.

Secondly, what coffers are you talking about? You are still thinking of corporations as if this were 19th century of robber barons. It is not. Drug companies are owned by tens, if not hundreds, millions of Americans, especially retirees, widows and orphans. That is who holds the "coffers" of drug companies. If you have a 401K, IRA or a share of a mutual fund, chances are you own drug companies, Citi, BP, and insurance companies such as AIG.

Does it make you suspicious that you are angry at precisely what the leftist scum wants you to be angry at --- American corporations that have made us prosperous and doubled our lifespan in the 20th century? Does it borher you at all that you repeat, however accidentally, the same mantra that they peddle?
